Requirements of the 2014 EU fluorinated greenhouse gas (F gas) regulation, including the phasing out of HFCs and
product bans.
Many air conditioning and heat pump systems contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HFCs are a type of fluorinated greenhouse gas
(F gas). Companies that operate or service and maintain equipment containing F gas must meet these requirements.
Only trained technicians can carry out work on equipment containing F gases, including :-
Installation
Testing for leaks
General maintenance
Disposal or decommissioning when you no longer need the product
Regular leak testing is required based on the quantity of F-Gas refrigerant the system contains. This is measured in tonnes CO2 .
